Got on reasonably well with the people on my course for my second and third year.

Most of the ones who left just sat on the dole and three years later they probably still are.

That's good, end of the day though, u did what you wanted and nothing stopped you... those on the dole now, they'll never get a job.

Absolutely hated my first year, thought about leaving several times but thankfully managed to not do so. That year was awful as I also ended up spending my lunchtimes on my own as all my friends at college were in on different days to me, so most of my lunchtimes resulted in many lonely trips to HMV in Durham to pass the time.

This could be my sob story if I was ever to appear on Britain's Got Talent

Also I still really miss having a HMV in Durham, since it closed Durham has mainly just been a place to change buses.

Or... X-Factor... hate both shows..

I can't watch either of them shows. Don't find them entertaining at all.

I'm trying to get to sleep but a helicopter (I'm guessing it belongs to the police or air ambulance) is hovering near my house!

Not that uncommon for a heavy police presence in Wrekenton mind!

Maybe after you?

Cheers Sean, much appreciated

what happened to V3?

Too many posts.

Not annoying, but saddened, Found out my Uncle died about 9pm last night, may sound cheesy, but he is in a better place, he is free from all the pain and he is re-united with his daughter who tragically died 3 years ago which was probably the beginning of the end for my Uncle, I last saw him 2 weeks ago and he was upset to see him like that

Still no reply so gonna ditch the Gateshead game.

I'm sorry to hear that, Fozz.

Cheers guys...Means a lot, I appreciate your kind words, not a good time at the moment, lost a cousin in May, now my Uncle, another Uncle in hospital, my sister is having problems with her liver, I am struggling to cope with my own issues as it is with all this on top and my mam is a wreck at the moment with everything thats going on...It don't just rain in my life at the moment it fooking pours

That's a lot of crap to be dealing with, fozza

On a more petty note, this Max x66 is 15 minutes late and someone on it smells of puke. Glad I've already had some lunch

Look on the bright side, it is an OmniCity

ThT I can't argue with. They look odd, have windows that are tricky to open, cantilever seats (hated by long legged big'un), rock when idling and throw you around everwhere when moving but they're flippin' brilliant!!

And a fab driver shouting out details of the aircraft that people are out photographing

Why not tell him to be a pilot

I suspect that if he wasn't working, he'd have been taking pics of his own.

I've been waiting half an hour for this X25, and still no show.

Thanks Go North East.

Disgrace.

You do not know why the service has not turned up.  The amount of times we do not operate due to it not being our fault is pretty high (roadworks, waiting for emergency services, accidents).

Bearing in mind Newcastle was at a standstill earlier, I think we have done a pretty good job today trying to maintain a service.

I should imagine that many services going in and out of Newcastle are still pretty messed up.

I have just been informed by the driver of the 28 that the X25 has broke down. Sorry Go North East but you's could have sent a replacement instead of keeping me standing here for an hour until the next one turns up!!!!!

Never been so frustrated in my life.

And then when I ask the 28 driver if he knows whether a replacement will be send he said "Well I diven't na I'm sitting here aren't I"

You could have just said "I'm not sure, sorry"

Sending out a replacement takes time. It isn't a case of shoving a bus onto a catapult and letting it fly to where it is that it will be replacing.
